Adams County 2025 National Ag Week

The Adams County Commissioners—Barbara Moore, Kelly Jones, and Jason Hayslip—officially proclaimed March 16-22, 2025, as National Agriculture Week, recognizing the role agriculture plays in the local and national economy. Members of the Adams County Farm Bureau attended the March 17 commissioners’ meeting, presenting a basket of locally grown and produced goods along with educational materials about National Ag Week. The proclamation was read in the presence of County Board President Brett Barton, County Farm Bureau Vice President and OSU Extension 4-H Educator Kristy Watters, OSU Extension Ag Natural Resources Educator Jenny Stoneking, and Organization Director Heather Utter. The motion to approve the proclamation was made by Commissioner Jason Hayslip and seconded by Commissioner Kelly Jones. As we celebrate National Ag Week, please take a moment to appreciate the hard work of farmers.

New and beginning farmers
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Growing Tomorrow Grant
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

Youth pathways in Farm Bureau
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
